How to create an alert message in jsp page after submit process is complete

in your servlet

 request.setAttribute("submitDone","done");
 return mapping.findForward("success");

In your jsp

<c:if test="${not empty submitDone}">
  <script>alert("Form submitted");
</script></c:if>

Using for loop inside of a JSP

Do this

    <% for(int i = 0; i < allFestivals.size(); i+=1) { %>
        <tr>      
            <td><%=allFestivals.get(i).getFestivalName()%></td>
        </tr>
    <% } %>

Better way is to use c:foreach see link jstl for each

How to solve the “failed to lazily initialize a collection of role” Hibernate exception

The reason is you are trying to get the commentList on your controller after closing the session inside the service.

topicById.getComments();

Above will load the commentList only if your hibernate session is active, which I guess you closed in your service.

So, you have to get the commentList before closing the session.

The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core cannot be resolved in either web.xml or the jar files deployed with this application

The error in question may also be caused by disabled JarScanner in tomcat/conf/context.xml.

See also Upgrade from Tomcat 8.0.39 to 8.0.41 results in 'failed to scan' errors.

<JarScanner scanManifest="false"/> allows to avoid both problems.

Access Session attribute on jstl

You should definitely avoid using <jsp:...> tags. They're relics from the past and should always be avoided now.

Use the JSTL.

Now, wether you use the JSTL or any other tag library, accessing to a bean property needs your bean to have this property. A property is not a private instance variable. It's an information accessible via a public getter (and setter, if the property is writable). To access the questionPaperID property, you thus need to have a

public SomeType getQuestionPaperID() {
    //...
}

method in your bean.

Once you have that, you can display the value of this property using this code :

<c:out value="${Questions.questionPaperID}" />

or, to specifically target the session scoped attributes (in case of conflicts between scopes) :

<c:out value="${sessionScope.Questions.questionPaperID}" />

Finally, I encourage you to name scope attributes as Java variables : starting with a lowercase letter.

SQL Switch/Case in 'where' clause

Try this query. Its very easy to understand:

CREATE TABLE PersonsDetail(FirstName nvarchar(20), LastName nvarchar(20), GenderID int);
GO

INSERT INTO PersonsDetail VALUES(N'Gourav', N'Bhatia', 2),
              (N'Ramesh', N'Kumar', 1),
              (N'Ram', N'Lal', 2),
              (N'Sunil', N'Kumar', 3),
              (N'Sunny', N'Sehgal', 1),
              (N'Malkeet', N'Shaoul', 3),
              (N'Jassy', N'Sohal', 2);
GO

SELECT FirstName, LastName, Gender =
    CASE GenderID
    WHEN 1 THEN 'Male'
    WHEN 2 THEN 'Female'
    ELSE 'Unknown'
    END
FROM PersonsDetail

getElementById in React

You may have to perform a diff and put document.getElementById('name') code inside a condition, in case your component is something like this:

// using the new hooks API
function Comp(props) {
  const { isLoading, data } = props;
  useEffect(() => {
    if (data) {
      var name = document.getElementById('name').value;
    }
  }, [data]) // this diff is necessary

  if (isLoading) return <div>isLoading</div>
  return (
    <div id='name'>Comp</div>
  );
}

If diff is not performed then, you will get null.

Set iframe content height to auto resize dynamically

In the iframe: So that means you have to add some code in the iframe page. Simply add this script to your code IN THE IFRAME:

<body onload="parent.alertsize(document.body.scrollHeight);">

In the holding page: In the page holding the iframe (in my case with ID="myiframe") add a small javascript:

<script>
function alertsize(pixels){
    pixels+=32;
    document.getElementById('myiframe').style.height=pixels+"px";
}
</script>

What happens now is that when the iframe is loaded it triggers a javascript in the parent window, which in this case is the page holding the iframe.

To that JavaScript function it sends how many pixels its (iframe) height is.

The parent window takes the number, adds 32 to it to avoid scrollbars, and sets the iframe height to the new number.

That's it, nothing else is needed.


But if you like to know some more small tricks keep on reading...

DYNAMIC HEIGHT IN THE IFRAME? If you like me like to toggle content the iframe height will change (without the page reloading and triggering the onload). I usually add a very simple toggle script I found online:

<script>
function toggle(obj) {
    var el = document.getElementById(obj);
    if ( el.style.display != 'block' ) el.style.display = 'block';
    else el.style.display = 'none';
}
</script>

to that script just add:

<script>
function toggle(obj) {
    var el = document.getElementById(obj);
    if ( el.style.display != 'block' ) el.style.display = 'block';
    else el.style.display = 'none';
    parent.alertsize(document.body.scrollHeight); // ADD THIS LINE!
}
</script>

How you use the above script is easy:

<a href="javascript:toggle('moreheight')">toggle height?</a><br />
<div style="display:none;" id="moreheight">
more height!<br />
more height!<br />
more height!<br />
</div>

For those that like to just cut and paste and go from there here is the two pages. In my case I had them in the same folder, but it should work cross domain too (I think...)

Enumerations on PHP

If you want type safety and a bunch of constants that match that type, one way to go is to have an abstract class for your enum and then extend that class with a locked constructor, like so:

abstract class DaysOfWeekEnum{
    public function __construct(string $value){
        $this->value = $value; 
    }
    public function __toString(){
        return $this->value;
    }

}
class Monday extends DaysOfWeekEnum{
    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct("Monday");
    }
}

class Tuesday extends DaysOfWeekEnum{
    public function __construct(){
        parent::__construct("Tuesday");
    }
}

Then you can have your methods take an instance of DaysOfWeek and pass it an instance of Monday, Tuesday, etc... The only downside is having to 'new-up' an instance every time you want to use your enum, but I find it worth it.

function printWeekDay(DaysOfWeek $day){
    echo "Today is $day.";
}

printWeekDay(new Monday());

How To Raise Property Changed events on a Dependency Property?

I agree with Sam and Xaser and have actually taken this a bit farther. I don't think you should be implementing the INotifyPropertyChanged interface in a UserControl at all...the control is already a DependencyObject and therefore already comes with notifications. Adding INotifyPropertyChanged to a DependencyObject is redundant and "smells" wrong to me.

What I did is implement both properties as DependencyProperties, as Sam suggests, but then simply had the PropertyChangedCallback from the "first" dependency property alter the value of the "second" dependency property. Since both are dependency properties, both will automatically raise change notifications to any interested subscribers (e.g. data binding etc.)

In this case, dependency property A is the string InviteText, which triggers a change in dependency property B, the Visibility property named ShowInvite. This would be a common use case if you have some text that you want to be able to hide completely in a control via data binding.

public string InviteText  
{
    get { return (string)GetValue(InviteTextProperty); }
    set { SetValue(InviteTextProperty, value); }
}

public static readonly DependencyProperty InviteTextProperty =
    DependencyProperty.Register("InviteText", typeof(string), typeof(InvitePrompt), new UIPropertyMetadata(String.Empty, OnInviteTextChanged));

private static void OnInviteTextChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    InvitePrompt prompt = d as InvitePrompt;
    if (prompt != null)
    {
        string text = e.NewValue as String;
        prompt.ShowInvite = String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(text) ? Visibility.Collapsed : Visibility.Visible;
    }
}

public Visibility ShowInvite
{
    get { return (Visibility)GetValue(ShowInviteProperty); }
    set { SetValue(ShowInviteProperty, value); }
}

public static readonly DependencyProperty ShowInviteProperty =
    DependencyProperty.Register("ShowInvite", typeof(Visibility), typeof(InvitePrompt), new PropertyMetadata(Visibility.Collapsed));

Note I'm not including the UserControl signature or constructor here because there is nothing special about them; they don't need to subclass from INotifyPropertyChanged at all.

How do I declare an array of undefined or no initial size?

The way it's often done is as follows:

  • allocate an array of some initial (fairly small) size;
  • read into this array, keeping track of how many elements you've read;
  • once the array is full, reallocate it, doubling the size and preserving (i.e. copying) the contents;
  • repeat until done.

I find that this pattern comes up pretty frequently.

What's interesting about this method is that it allows one to insert N elements into an empty array one-by-one in amortized O(N) time without knowing N in advance.

Global variables in header file

You should not define global variables in header files. You can declare them as extern in header file and define them in a .c source file.

(Note: In C, int i; is a tentative definition, it allocates storage for the variable (= is a definition) if there is no other definition found for that variable in the translation unit.)

How to get current foreground activity context in android?

A rather simple solution is to create a singleton manager class, in which you can store a reference to one or more Activities, or anything else you want access to throughout the app.

Call UberManager.getInstance().setMainActivity( activity ); in the main activity's onCreate.

Call UberManager.getInstance().getMainActivity(); anywhere in your app to retrieve it. (I am using this to be able to use Toast from a non UI thread.)

Make sure you add a call to UberManager.getInstance().cleanup(); when your app is being destroyed.

import android.app.Activity;

public class UberManager
{
    private static UberManager instance = new UberManager();

    private Activity mainActivity = null;

    private UberManager()
    {

    }

    public static UberManager getInstance()
    {
        return instance;
    }

    public void setMainActivity( Activity mainActivity )
    {
        this.mainActivity = mainActivity;
    }

    public Activity getMainActivity()
    {
        return mainActivity;
    }

    public void cleanup()
    {
        mainActivity = null;
    }
}

Structs in Javascript

CSS/HTML: What is the correct way to make text italic?

<i> is not wrong because it is non-semantic. It's wrong (usually) because it's presentational. Separation of concern means that presentional information should be conveyed with CSS.

Naming in general can be tricky to get right, and class names are no exception, but nevertheless it's what you have to do. If you're using italics to make a block stand out from the body text, then maybe a class name of "flow-distinctive" would be in order. Think about reuse: class names are for categorization - where else would you want to do the same thing? That should help you identify a suitable name.

<i> is included in HTML5, but it is given specific semantics. If the reason why you are marking something up as italic meets one of the semantics identified in the spec, it would be appropriate to use <i>. Otherwise not.

How can I get my webapp's base URL in ASP.NET MVC?

Assuming you have a Request object available, you can use:

string.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", Request.Url.Scheme, Request.Url.Authority, Url.Content("~"));

If it's not available, you can get to it via the context:

var request = HttpContext.Current.Request

How to show all rows by default in JQuery DataTable

Use:

$('#example').dataTable({
    aLengthMenu: [
        [25, 50, 100, 200, -1],
        [25, 50, 100, 200, "All"]
    ],
    iDisplayLength: -1
});

Or if using 1.10+

$('#example').dataTable({
    paging: false
});

The option you should use is iDisplayLength:

$('#adminProducts').dataTable({
  'iDisplayLength': 100
});

$('#table').DataTable({
   "lengthMenu": [ [5, 10, 25, 50, -1], [5, 10, 25, 50, "All"] ]
});

It will Load by default all entries.

$('#example').dataTable({
    aLengthMenu: [
        [25, 50, 100, 200, -1],
        [25, 50, 100, 200, "All"]
    ],
    iDisplayLength: -1
});

Or if using 1.10+

$('#example').dataTable({
    paging: false
});

If you want to load by default 25 not all do this.

$('#example').dataTable({
    aLengthMenu: [
        [25, 50, 100, 200, -1],
        [25, 50, 100, 200, "All"]
    ],
});

jQuery autocomplete with callback ajax json

My issue was that end users would start typing in a textbox and receive autocomplete (ACP) suggestions and update the calling control if a suggestion was selected as the ACP is designed by default. However, I also needed to update multiple other controls (textboxes, DropDowns, etc...) with data specific to the end user's selection. I have been trying to figure out an elegant solution to the issue and I feel the one I developed is worth sharing and hopefully will save you at least some time.

What should a Multipart HTTP request with multiple files look like?

EDIT: I am maintaining a similar, but more in-depth answer at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28380690/895245

To see exactly what is happening, use nc -l and an user agent like a browser or cURL.

Save the form to an .html file:

<form action="http://localhost:8000" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <p><input type="text" name="text" value="text default">
  <p><input type="file" name="file1">
  <p><input type="file" name="file2">
  <p><button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Create files to upload:

echo 'Content of a.txt.' > a.txt
echo '<!DOCTYPE html><title>Content of a.html.</title>' > a.html

Run:

nc -l localhost 8000

Open the HTML on your browser, select the files and click on submit and check the terminal.

nc prints the request received. Firefox sent:

Aternativelly, cURL should send the same POST request as your a browser form:

nc -l localhost 8000
curl -F "text=default" -F "[email protected]" -F "[email protected]" localhost:8000

You can do multiple tests with:

while true; do printf '' | nc -l localhost 8000; done

What does iterator->second mean?

I'm sure you know that a std::vector<X> stores a whole bunch of X objects, right? But if you have a std::map<X, Y>, what it actually stores is a whole bunch of std::pair<const X, Y>s. That's exactly what a map is - it pairs together the keys and the associated values.

When you iterate over a std::map, you're iterating over all of these std::pairs. When you dereference one of these iterators, you get a std::pair containing the key and its associated value.

std::map<std::string, int> m = /* fill it */;
auto it = m.begin();

Here, if you now do *it, you will get the the std::pair for the first element in the map.

Now the type std::pair gives you access to its elements through two members: first and second. So if you have a std::pair<X, Y> called p, p.first is an X object and p.second is a Y object.

So now you know that dereferencing a std::map iterator gives you a std::pair, you can then access its elements with first and second. For example, (*it).first will give you the key and (*it).second will give you the value. These are equivalent to it->first and it->second.

When do I need to use AtomicBoolean in Java?

There are two main reasons why you can use an atomic boolean. First its mutable, you can pass it in as a reference and change the value that is a associated to the boolean itself, for example.

public final class MyThreadSafeClass{

    private AtomicBoolean myBoolean = new AtomicBoolean(false);
    private SomeThreadSafeObject someObject = new SomeThreadSafeObject();

    public boolean doSomething(){
         someObject.doSomeWork(myBoolean);
         return myBoolean.get(); //will return true
    }
}

and in the someObject class

public final class SomeThreadSafeObject{
    public void doSomeWork(AtomicBoolean b){
        b.set(true);
    }
}

More importantly though, its thread safe and can indicate to developers maintaining the class, that this variable is expected to be modified and read from multiple threads. If you do not use an AtomicBoolean you must synchronize the boolean variable you are using by declaring it volatile or synchronizing around the read and write of the field.

How do I parse an ISO 8601-formatted date?

One straightforward way to convert an ISO 8601-like date string to a UNIX timestamp or datetime.datetime object in all supported Python versions without installing third-party modules is to use the date parser of SQLite.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import with_statement, division, print_function
import sqlite3
import datetime

testtimes = [
    "2016-08-25T16:01:26.123456Z",
    "2016-08-25T16:01:29",
]
db = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
c = db.cursor()
for timestring in testtimes:
    c.execute("SELECT strftime('%s', ?)", (timestring,))
    converted = c.fetchone()[0]
    print("%s is %s after epoch" % (timestring, converted))
    dt = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(int(converted))
    print("datetime is %s" % dt)

Output:

2016-08-25T16:01:26.123456Z is 1472140886 after epoch
datetime is 2016-08-25 12:01:26
2016-08-25T16:01:29 is 1472140889 after epoch
datetime is 2016-08-25 12:01:29

Excel VBA - select multiple columns not in sequential order

Working on a project I was stuck for some time on this concept - I ended up with a similar answer to Method 1 by @GSerg that worked great. Essentially I defined two formula ranges (using a few variables) and then used the Union concept. My example is from a larger project that I'm working on but hopefully the portion of code below can help some other people who might not know how to use the Union concept in conjunction with defined ranges and variables. I didn't include the entire code because at this point it's fairly long - if anyone wants more insight feel free to let me know.

First I declared all my variables as Public

Then I defined/set each variable

Lastly I set a new variable "SelectRanges" as the Union between the two other FormulaRanges

Public r As Long
Public c As Long
Public d As Long
Public FormulaRange3 As Range
Public FormulaRange4 As Range
Public SelectRanges As Range

With Sheet8




  c = pvt.DataBodyRange.Columns.Count + 1

  d = 3

  r = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

Set FormulaRange3 = .Range(.Cells(d, c + 2), .Cells(r - 1, c + 2))
    FormulaRange3.NumberFormat = "0"
    Set FormulaRange4 = .Range(.Cells(d, c + c + 2), .Cells(r - 1, c + c + 2))
    FormulaRange4.NumberFormat = "0"
    Set SelectRanges = Union(FormulaRange3, FormulaRange4)

Create two threads, one display odd & other even numbers

Below is the code which uses lock on a shared object which has the number to be printed. It guarantees the sequence also unlike the above solution.

public class MultiThreadPrintNumber {
  int i = 1;

  public synchronized void printNumber(String threadNm) throws InterruptedException{

      if(threadNm.equals("t1")){
        if(i%2 == 1){
          System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+"--"+ i++);
          notify();
        } else {
          wait();
        }
      } else if(threadNm.equals("t2")){
        if(i%2 == 0){
          System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+"--"+ i++);
          notify();
        } else {
          wait();
        }
      }

    }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    final MultiThreadPrintNumber obj = new MultiThreadPrintNumber();
    Thread t1 = new Thread(new Runnable() {

      @Override
      public void run() {
        try {
          while(obj.i <= 10){

            obj.printNumber(Thread.currentThread().getName());
          }
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("done t1");
      }
    });
    Thread t2 = new Thread(new Runnable() {

      @Override
      public void run() {
        try {
          while(obj.i <=10){
            obj.printNumber(Thread.currentThread().getName());
          }
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("done t2");
      }
    });

    t1.setName("t1");
    t2.setName("t2");
    t1.start();
    t2.start();
  }
}

The output will look like: t1--1 t2--2 t1--3 t2--4 t1--5 t2--6 t1--7 t2--8 t1--9 t2--10 done t2 done t1

How to view file history in Git?

I like to use gitk name_of_file

This shows a nice list of the changes that happened to a file at each commit, instead of showing the changes to all the files. Makes it easier to track down something that happened.

How do I combine a background-image and CSS3 gradient on the same element?

For my responsive design, my drop-box down-arrow on the right side of the box (vertical accordion), accepted percentage as position. Initially the down-arrow was "position: absolute; right: 13px;". With the 97% positioning it worked like charm as follows:

> background: #ffffff;
> background-image: url(PATH-TO-arrow_down.png); /*fall back - IE */
> background-position: 97% center; /*fall back - IE */
> background-repeat: no-repeat; /*fall back - IE */
> background-image: url(PATH-TO-arrow_down.png)  no-repeat  97%  center;  
> background: url(PATH-TO-arrow_down.png) no-repeat 97% center,  -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 1%, #eaeaea 100%); 
> background: url(PATH-TO-arrow_down.png) no-repeat 97% center,  -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(1%,#ffffff), color-stop(100%,#eaeaea)); 
> background: url(PATH-TO-arrow_down.png) no-repeat 97% center,  -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 1%,#eaeaea 100%); 
> background: url(PATH-TO-arrow_down.png) no-repeat 97% center,  -o-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 1%,#eaeaea 100%);<br />
> filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#eaeaea',GradientType=0 ); 

P.S. Sorry, don't know how to handle the filters.

What is the difference between map and flatMap and a good use case for each?

It boils down to your initial question: what you mean by flattening ?

When you use flatMap, a "multi-dimensional" collection becomes "one-dimensional" collection.

val array1d = Array ("1,2,3", "4,5,6", "7,8,9")  
//array1d is an array of strings

val array2d = array1d.map(x => x.split(","))
//array2d will be : Array( Array(1,2,3), Array(4,5,6), Array(7,8,9) )

val flatArray = array1d.flatMap(x => x.split(","))
//flatArray will be : Array (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

You want to use a flatMap when,

  • your map function results in creating multi layered structures
  • but all you want is a simple - flat - one dimensional structure, by removing ALL the internal groupings

How to declare or mark a Java method as deprecated?

There are two things you can do:

  1. Add the @Deprecated annotation to the method, and
  2. Add a @deprecated tag to the javadoc of the method

You should do both!

Quoting the java documentation on this subject:

Starting with J2SE 5.0, you deprecate a class, method, or field by using the @Deprecated annotation. Additionally, you can use the @deprecated Javadoc tag tell developers what to use instead.

Using the annotation causes the Java compiler to generate warnings when the deprecated class, method, or field is used. The compiler suppresses deprecation warnings if a deprecated compilation unit uses a deprecated class, method, or field. This enables you to build legacy APIs without generating warnings.

You are strongly recommended to use the Javadoc @deprecated tag with appropriate comments explaining how to use the new API. This ensures developers will have a workable migration path from the old API to the new API

Function to convert column number to letter?

This is a version of robartsd's answer (with the flavor of Jan Wijninckx's one line solution), using recursion instead of a loop.

Public Function ColumnLetter(Column As Integer) As String
    If Column < 1 Then Exit Function
    ColumnLetter = ColumnLetter(Int((Column - 1) / 26)) & Chr(((Column - 1) Mod 26) + Asc("A"))
End Function

I've tested this with the following inputs:

1   => "A"
26  => "Z"
27  => "AA"
51  => "AY"
702 => "ZZ"
703 => "AAA" 
-1  => ""
-234=> ""

Best equivalent VisualStudio IDE for Mac to program .NET/C#

MonoDevelop from: http://monodevelop.com/

There is no equivalent to Visual Studio. However, for writing C# on Mac or Linux, you can't get better than MonoDevelop.

The Mac build is pre beta. From the MonoDevelop site on Mac:

The Mac OS X port of MonoDevelop is under active development and has not seen a stable release yet. Recent work described by Michael Hutchinson has focussed on improving the usability and stability of Monodevelop on the Mac. This work will be released in MonoDevelop 2.2. Right now it's not finished, and is very much an alpha.

Reading values from DataTable

SQL Server - Create a copy of a database table and place it in the same database?

If you want to duplicate the table with all its constraints & keys follows this below steps:

  1. Open the database in SQL Management Studio.
  2. Right-click on the table that you want to duplicate.
  3. Select Script Table as -> Create to -> New Query Editor Window. This will generate a script to recreate the table in a new query window.
  4. Change the table name and relative keys & constraints in the script.
  5. Execute the script.

Then for copying the data run this below script:

SET IDENTITY_INSERT DuplicateTable ON

INSERT Into DuplicateTable ([Column1], [Column2], [Column3], [Column4],... ) 
SELECT [Column1], [Column2], [Column3], [Column4],... FROM MainTable

SET IDENTITY_INSERT DuplicateTable OFF

How do I check CPU and Memory Usage in Java?

Java's Runtime object can report the JVM's memory usage. For CPU consumption you'll have to use an external utility, like Unix's top or Windows Process Manager.

Bash mkdir and subfolders

FWIW,

Poor mans security folder (to protect a public shared folder from little prying eyes ;) )

mkdir -p {0..9}/{0..9}/{0..9}/{0..9}

Now you can put your files in a pin numbered folder. Not exactly waterproof, but it's a barrier for the youngest.

Cannot read property length of undefined

The id of the input seems is not WallSearch. Maybe you're confusing that name and id. They are two different properties. name is used to define the name by which the value is posted, while id is the unique identification of the element inside the DOM.

Other possibility is that you have two elements with the same id. The browser will pick any of these (probably the last, maybe the first) and return an element that doesn't support the value property.

Check if a string is a palindrome

Out of all the solutions, below can also be tried:

public static bool IsPalindrome(string s)
{
    return s == new string(s.Reverse().ToArray());
}

Textarea onchange detection

You can listen to event on change of textarea and do the changes as per you want. Here is one example.

_x000D_
_x000D_
const textArea = document.getElementById('my_text_area');
textArea.addEventListener('input', () => {
    var textLn =  textArea.value.length;
    if(textLn >= 100) {
        textArea.style.fontSize = '10pt';
    }
})
_x000D_
<html>
    <textarea id='my_text_area' rows="4" cols="50" style="font-size:40pt">
This text will change font after 100.
    </textarea>
</html>

Plotting lines connecting points

Use the matplotlib.arrow() function and set the parameters head_length and head_width to zero to don't get an "arrow-end". The connections between the different points can be simply calculated using vector addition with: A = [1,2], B=[3,4] --> Connection between A and B is B-A = [2,2]. Drawing this vector starting at the tip of A ends at the tip of B.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import style
style.use('fivethirtyeight')


A = np.array([[10,8],[1,2],[7,5],[3,5],[7,6],[8,7],[9,9],[4,5],[6,5],[6,8]])


fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))
ax0 = fig.add_subplot(212)

ax0.scatter(A[:,0],A[:,1])


ax0.arrow(A[0][0],A[0][1],A[1][0]-A[0][0],A[1][1]-A[0][1],width=0.02,color='red',head_length=0.0,head_width=0.0)
ax0.arrow(A[2][0],A[2][1],A[9][0]-A[2][0],A[9][1]-A[2][1],width=0.02,color='red',head_length=0.0,head_width=0.0)
ax0.arrow(A[4][0],A[4][1],A[6][0]-A[4][0],A[6][1]-A[4][1],width=0.02,color='red',head_length=0.0,head_width=0.0)

Copy rows from one Datatable to another DataTable?

foreach (DataRow dr in dataTable1.Rows) {
    if (/* some condition */)
        dataTable2.Rows.Add(dr.ItemArray);
}

The above example assumes that dataTable1 and dataTable2 have the same number, type and order of columns.

Querying data by joining two tables in two database on different servers

While I was having trouble join those two tables, I got away with doing exactly what I wanted by opening both remote databases at the same time. MySQL 5.6 (php 7.1) and the other MySQL 5.1 (php 5.6)

//Open a new connection to the MySQL server
$mysqli1 = new mysqli('server1','user1','password1','database1');
$mysqli2 = new mysqli('server2','user2','password2','database2');

//Output any connection error
if ($mysqli1->connect_error) {
    die('Error : ('. $mysqli1->connect_errno .') '. $mysqli1->connect_error);
} else { 
echo "DB1 open OK<br>";
}
if ($mysqli2->connect_error) {
    die('Error : ('. $mysqli2->connect_errno .') '. $mysqli2->connect_error);
} else { 
echo "DB2 open OK<br><br>";
}

If you get those two OKs on screen, then both databases are open and ready. Then you can proceed to do your querys.

$results = $mysqli1->query("SELECT * FROM video where video_id_old is NULL");
    while($row = $results->fetch_array()) {
        $theID = $row[0];
        echo "Original ID : ".$theID." <br>";
        $doInsert = $mysqli2->query("INSERT INTO video (...) VALUES (...)");
        $doGetVideoID = $mysqli2->query("SELECT video_id, time_stamp from video where user_id = '".$row[13]."' and time_stamp = ".$row[28]." ");
            while($row = $doGetVideoID->fetch_assoc()) {
                echo "New video_id : ".$row["video_id"]." user_id : ".$row["user_id"]." time_stamp : ".$row["time_stamp"]."<br>";
                $sql = "UPDATE video SET video_id_old = video_id, video_id = ".$row["video_id"]." where user_id = '".$row["user_id"]."' and video_id = ".$theID.";";
                $sql .= "UPDATE video_audio SET video_id = ".$row["video_id"]." where video_id = ".$theID.";";
                // Execute multi query if you want
                if (mysqli_multi_query($mysqli1, $sql)) {
                    // Query successful do whatever...
                }
            }
    }
// close connection 
$mysqli1->close();
$mysqli2->close();

I was trying to do some joins but since I got those two DBs open, then I can go back and forth doing querys by just changing the connection $mysqli1 or $mysqli2

It worked for me, I hope it helps... Cheers

blur vs focusout -- any real differences?

The documentation for focusout says (emphasis mine):

The focusout event is sent to an element when it, or any element inside of it, loses focus. This is distinct from the blur event in that it supports detecting the loss of focus on descendant elements (in other words, it supports event bubbling).

The same distinction exists between the focusin and focus events.

Viewing all `git diffs` with vimdiff

For people who want to use another diff tool not listed in git, say with nvim. here is what I ended up using:

git config --global alias.d difftool -x <tool name>

In my case, I set <tool name> to nvim -d and invoke the diff command with

git d <file>

Auto-increment on partial primary key with Entity Framework Core

Well those Data Annotations should do the trick, maybe is something related with the PostgreSQL Provider.

From EF Core documentation:

Depending on the database provider being used, values may be generated client side by EF or in the database. If the value is generated by the database, then EF may assign a temporary value when you add the entity to the context. This temporary value will then be replaced by the database generated value during SaveChanges.

You could also try with this Fluent Api configuration:

modelBuilder.Entity<Foo>()
            .Property(f => f.Id)
            .ValueGeneratedOnAdd();

But as I said earlier, I think this is something related with the DB provider. Try to add a new row to your DB and check later if was generated a value to the Id column.

Convert object string to JSON

Maybe you have to try this:

str = jQuery.parseJSON(str)

How do I activate a specific workbook and a specific sheet?

You have to set a reference to the workbook you're opening. Then you can do anything you want with that workbook by using its reference.

Dim wkb As Workbook
Set wkb = Workbooks.Open("Tire.xls") ' open workbook and set reference!

wkb.Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
wkb.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, 1).Value = 123

Could even set a reference to the sheet, which will make life easier later:

Dim wkb As Workbook
Dim sht As Worksheet

Set wkb = Workbooks.Open("Tire.xls")
Set sht = wkb.Sheets("Sheet2")

sht.Activate
sht.Cells(2, 1) = 123

Others have pointed out that .Activate may be superfluous in your case. You don't strictly need to activate a sheet before editing its cells. But, if that's what you want to do, it does no harm to activate -- except for a small hit to performance which should not be noticeable as long as you do it only once or a few times. However, if you activate many times e.g. in a loop, it will slow things down significantly, so activate should be avoided.

Adding an onclick event to a table row

My table is in another iframe so i modified SolutionYogi answer to work with that:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = addRowHandlers;
function addRowHandlers() {
    var iframe = document.getElementById('myiframe');
    var innerDoc = (iframe.contentDocument) ? iframe.contentDocument : iframe.contentWindow.document;

    var table = innerDoc.getElementById("mytable");
    var rows = table.getElementsByTagName("tr");
    for (i = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
        var currentRow = table.rows[i];
        var createClickHandler = 
            function(row) 
            {
                return function() { 
                                        var cell = row.getElementsByTagName("td")[0];

Which loop is faster, while or for?

Some optimizing compilers will be able to do better loop unrolling with a for loop, but odds are that if you're doing something that can be unrolled, a compiler smart enough to unroll it is probably also smart enough to interpret the loop condition of your while loop as something it can unroll as well.

Swing JLabel text change on the running application

Use setText(str) method of JLabel to dynamically change text displayed. In actionPerform of button write this:

jLabel.setText("new Value");

A simple demo code will be:

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");
    frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(250,100);

    final JLabel label = new JLabel("flag");
    JButton button = new JButton("Change flag");
    button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            label.setText("new value");
        }
    });

    frame.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    frame.add(button, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.setVisible(true);

How to remove the border highlight on an input text element

Update 2020 - :focus-visible

Good news for accessibility - Chrome & Firefox just added support for :focus-visible.

Hiding focus styles is bad practice due to accessibility requirements (keyboard navigation) which makes your websites less accessible.

Use :focus-visible pseudo-class and let the browser to determinate when to apply focus.

:focus-visible /* Chrome */

Note that Firefox supports similar functionality through an older, prefixed pseudo-class:

:-moz-focusring /* Firefox */

jQuery Combobox/select autocomplete?

This works great for me and I'm doing more, writing less with jQuery's example modified.

I defined the select object on my page, just like the jQuery ex. I took the text and pushed it to an array. Then I use the array as my source to my input autocomplete. tadaa.

$(function() {
   var mySource = [];
   $("#mySelect").children("option").map(function() {
      mySource.push($(this).text());
   });

   $("#myInput").autocomplete({
      source: mySource,

How to convert An NSInteger to an int?

If you want to do this inline, just cast the NSUInteger or NSInteger to an int:

int i = -1;
NSUInteger row = 100;
i > row // true, since the signed int is implicitly converted to an unsigned int
i > (int)row // false

Java 8: Lambda-Streams, Filter by Method with Exception

You must catch the exception before it escapes the lambda:

s = s.filter(a -> {
    try {
        return a.isActive();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new UncheckedIOException(e);
    }
});

Consider the fact that the lambda isn't evaluated at the place you write it, but at some completely unrelated place, within a JDK class. So that would be the point where that checked exception would be thrown, and at that place it isn't declared.

You can deal with it by using a wrapper of your lambda that translates checked exceptions to unchecked ones:

public static <T> T uncheckCall(Callable<T> callable) {
    try {
        return callable.call();
    } catch (RuntimeException e) {
        throw e;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

Your example would be written as

return s.filter(a -> uncheckCall(a::isActive))
        .map(Account::getNumber)
        .collect(toSet());

In my projects I deal with this issue without wrapping; instead I use a method which effectively defuses compiler's checking of exceptions. Needless to say, this should be handled with care and everybody on the project must be aware that a checked exception may appear where it is not declared. This is the plumbing code:

public static <T> T uncheckCall(Callable<T> callable) {
    try {
        return callable.call();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return sneakyThrow(e);
    }
}

public static void uncheckRun(RunnableExc r) {
    try {
        r.run();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        sneakyThrow(e);
    }
}

public interface RunnableExc {
    void run() throws Exception;
}

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
private static <T extends Throwable> void sneakyThrow(Throwable t) throws T {
    throw (T) t;
}

and you can expect to get an IOException thrown in your face, even though collect does not declare it. In most, but not all real-life cases you would want to just rethrow the exception, anyway, and handle it as a generic failure. In all those cases, nothing is lost in clarity or correctness. Just beware of those other cases, where you would actually want to react to the exception on the spot. The developer will not be made aware by the compiler that there is an IOException to catch there and the compiler will in fact complain if you try to catch it because we have fooled it into believing that no such exception can be thrown.

private constructor

One common use is for template-typedef workaround classes like following:

template <class TObj>
class MyLibrariesSmartPointer
{
  MyLibrariesSmartPointer();
  public:
    typedef smart_ptr<TObj> type;
};

Obviously a public non-implemented constructor would work aswell, but a private construtor raises a compile time error instead of a link time error, if anyone tries to instatiate MyLibrariesSmartPointer<SomeType> instead of MyLibrariesSmartPointer<SomeType>::type, which is desireable.

How can I push a specific commit to a remote, and not previous commits?

I did want to obmit a old big history and start from a fresh commit i choosed to:

rsync -a --exclude '.git' old-repo/ new-repo/
cd new-repo 
git push 

when now old-repo changes i can apply the patches to the new-repo to rebase them on the new-repo.

Change image size via parent div

I'm not sure about what you mean by "I have no access to image" But if you have access to parent div you can do the following:

Firs give id or class to your div:

<div class="parent">
   <img src="http://someimage.jpg">
</div>

Than add this to your css:

.parent {
   width: 42px; /* I took the width from your post and placed it in css */
   height: 42px;
}

/* This will style any <img> element in .parent div */
.parent img {
   height: 100%;
   width: 100%;
}

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at

The use-case for CORS is simple. Imagine the site alice.com has some data that the site bob.com wants to access. This type of request traditionally wouldn’t be allowed under the browser’s same origin policy. However, by supporting CORS requests, alice.com can add a few special response headers that allows bob.com to access the data. In order to understand it well, please visit this nice tutorial..

What is the difference between static func and class func in Swift?

Both the static and class keywords allow us to attach methods to a class rather than to instances of a class. For example, you might create a Student class with properties such as name and age, then create a static method numberOfStudents that is owned by the Student class itself rather than individual instances.

Where static and class differ is how they support inheritance. When you make a static method it becomes owned by the class and can't be changed by subclasses, whereas when you use class it may be overridden if needed.

Here is an Example code:

  class Vehicle {
    static func getCurrentSpeed() -> Int {
        return 0
    }

    class func getCurrentNumberOfPassengers() -> Int {
        return 0
    } 

  }

  class Bicycle: Vehicle {
    //This is not allowed
    //Compiler error: "Cannot override static method"
  //  static override func getCurrentSpeed() -> Int {
  //        return 15
  //  }

      class override func getCurrentNumberOfPassengers() -> Int {
        return 1
      }
  }

What is the right way to POST multipart/form-data using curl?

This is what worked for me

curl --form file='@filename' URL

It seems when I gave this answer (4+ years ago), I didn't really understand the question, or how form fields worked. I was just answering based on what I had tried in a difference scenario, and it worked for me.

So firstly, the only mistake the OP made was in not using the @ symbol before the file name. Secondly, my answer which uses file=... only worked for me because the form field I was trying to do the upload for was called file. If your form field is called something else, use that name instead.

Explanation

From the curl manpages; under the description for the option --form it says:

This enables uploading of binary files etc. To force the 'content' part to be a file, prefix the file name with an @ sign. To just get the content part from a file, prefix the file name with the symbol <. The difference between @ and < is then that @ makes a file get attached in the post as a file upload, while the < makes a text field and just get the contents for that text field from a file.

Chances are that if you are trying to do a form upload, you will most likely want to use the @ prefix to upload the file rather than < which uploads the contents of the file.

Addendum

Now I must also add that one must be careful with using the < symbol because in most unix shells, < is the input redirection symbol [which coincidentally will also supply the contents of the given file to the command standard input of the program before <]. This means that if you do not properly escape that symbol or wrap it in quotes, you may find that your curl command does not behave the way you expect.

On that same note, I will also recommend quoting the @ symbol.


You may also be interested in this other question titled: application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data?

I say this because curl offers other ways of uploading a file, but they differ in the content-type set in the header. For example the --data option offers a similar mechanism for uploading files as data, but uses a different content-type for the upload.

Anyways that's all I wanted to say about this answer since it started to get more upvotes. I hope this helps erase any confusions such as the difference between this answer and the accepted answer. There is really none, except for this explanation.

Browser Caching of CSS files

Your file will probably be cached - but it depends...

Different browsers have slightly different behaviors - most noticeably when dealing with ambiguous/limited caching headers emanating from the server. If you send a clear signal, the browsers obey, virtually all of the time.

The greatest variance by far, is in the default caching configuration of different web servers and application servers.

Some (e.g. Apache) are likely to serve known static file types with HTTP headers encouraging the browser to cache them, while other servers may send no-cache commands with every response - regardless of filetype.

...

So, first off, read some of the excellent HTTP caching tutorials out there. HTTP Caching & Cache-Busting for Content Publishers was a real eye opener for me :-)

Next install and fiddle around with Firebug and the Live HTTP Headers add-on , to find out which headers your server is actually sending.

Then read your web server docs to find out how to tweak them to perfection (or talk your sysadmin into doing it for you).

...

As to what happens when the browser is restarted, it depends on the browser and the user configuration.

As a rule of thumb, expect the browser to be more likely to check in with the server after each restart, to see if anything has changed (see If-Last-Modified and If-None-Match).

If you configure your server correctly, it should be able to return a super-short 304 Not Modified (costing very little bandwidth) and after that the browser will use the cache as normal.

Base64 encoding and decoding in oracle

I've implemented this to send Cyrillic e-mails through my MS Exchange server.

function to_base64(t in varchar2) return varchar2 is
 begin
    return utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(t)));
end to_base64;

Try it.

upd: after a minor adjustment I came up with this, so it works both ways now:

function from_base64(t in varchar2) return varchar2 is
begin
  return utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_decode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw(t)));
end from_base64;

You can check it:

What does the star operator mean, in a function call?

It is called the extended call syntax. From the documentation:

If the syntax *expression appears in the function call, expression must evaluate to a sequence. Elements from this sequence are treated as if they were additional positional arguments; if there are positional arguments x1,..., xN, and expression evaluates to a sequence y1, ..., yM, this is equivalent to a call with M+N positional arguments x1, ..., xN, y1, ..., yM.

and:

If the syntax **expression appears in the function call, expression must evaluate to a mapping, the contents of which are treated as additional keyword arguments. In the case of a keyword appearing in both expression and as an explicit keyword argument, a TypeError exception is raised.

What is a software framework?

A framework provides functionalities/solution to the particular problem area.
Definition from wiki:

A software framework, in computer programming, is an abstraction in which common code providing generic functionality can be selectively overridden or specialized by user code providing specific functionality. Frameworks are a special case of software libraries in that they are reusable abstractions of code wrapped in a well-defined Application programming interface (API), yet they contain some key distinguishing features that separate them from normal libraries.

call a function in success of datatable ajax call

Maybe it's not exactly what you want to do, but using the ajax complete solved my problem of hiding a spinner when the ajax call returned.

So it would look something like this

    "ajax": {
            "type" : "GET",
            "url" : "ajax.php",
            "dataSrc": "",
            "success": function () {
                alert("Done!");
            }

What is the best way to extract the first word from a string in Java?

To simplify the above:

text.substring(0, text.indexOf(' ')); 

Here is a ready function:

private String getFirstWord(String text) {

  int index = text.indexOf(' ');

  if (index > -1) { // Check if there is more than one word.

    return text.substring(0, index).trim(); // Extract first word.

  } else {

    return text; // Text is the first word itself.
  }
}

How can I list ALL DNS records?

  1. A zone transfer is the only way to be sure you have all the subdomain records. If the DNS is correctly configured you should not normally be able to perform an external zone transfer.

  2. The scans.io project has a database of DNS records that can be downloaded and searched for subdomains. This requires downloading the 87GB of DNS data, alternatively you can try the online search of the data at https://hackertarget.com/find-dns-host-records/

KnockoutJs v2.3.0 : Error You cannot apply bindings multiple times to the same element

I had this error occur for a different reason.

I created a template for save/cancel buttons that I wanted to appear at top and bottom of the page. It worked at first when I had my template defined inside of a <script type="text/html"> element.... but then I heard you could optionally create a template out of an ordinary DIV element instead.

(This worked better for me since I was using ASP.NET MVC and none of my @variableName Razor syntax was being executed at runtime from inside of the script element. So by changing to a DIV instead, I could still have the MVC Razor engine generate HTML inside my KnockoutJs template when the page loads.)

After I changed my template to use a DIV instead of a SCRIPT element, my code looked like this.... which worked fine on IE10. However, later when I tested it on IE8, it threw that....

"You cannot apply bindings multiple times to the same element" error.....

HTML

<div id="mainKnockoutDiv" class="measurementsDivContents hourlyMeasurements">

  <div id="saveButtons_template" style="display: none;">
    ... my template content here ...
  </div>

  <!--ko template: { name: 'saveButtons_template' } -->
  <!--/ko-->

  Some_HTML_content_here....

  <!--ko template: { name: 'saveButtons_template' } -->
  <!--/ko-->

</div>

JavaScript

ko.applyBindings(viewModel, document.getElementById('mainKnockoutDiv'));

THE SOLUTION:

All I had to do was move my saveButtons_template DIV down to the bottom, so that it was outside of the mainKnockoutDiv. This solved the problem for me.

I suppose KnockoutJs was trying to bind my template DIV multiple times since it was located inside the applyBindings target area... and was not using the SCRIPT element.... and was being referenced as a template.

Using gdb to single-step assembly code outside specified executable causes error "cannot find bounds of current function"

The most useful thing you can do here is display/i $pc, before using stepi as already suggested in R Samuel Klatchko's answer. This tells gdb to disassemble the current instruction just before printing the prompt each time; then you can just keep hitting Enter to repeat the stepi command.

(See my answer to another question for more detail - the context of that question was different, but the principle is the same.)

Convert from enum ordinal to enum type

So one way is to doExampleEnum valueOfOrdinal = ExampleEnum.values()[ordinal]; which works and its easy, however, as mentioned before, ExampleEnum.values() returns a new cloned array for every call. That can be unnecessarily expensive. We can solve that by caching the array like so ExampleEnum[] values = values(). It is also "dangerous" to allow our cached array to be modified. Someone could write ExampleEnum.values[0] = ExampleEnum.type2; So I would make it private with an accessor method that does not do extra copying.

private enum ExampleEnum{
    type0, type1, type2, type3;
    private static final ExampleEnum[] values = values();
    public static ExampleEnum value(int ord) {
        return values[ord];
    }
}

You would use ExampleEnum.value(ordinal) to get the enum value associated with ordinal

iOS9 Untrusted Enterprise Developer with no option to trust

Changes to Enterprise App Distribution Coming in iOS 9

iOS 9 introduces a new feature to help protect users from installing in-house apps from untrusted sources. While no new app signing or provisioning methods are required, the way your enterprise users manage in-house apps installed on their iOS 9 devices will change.

In-house apps installed using an MDM solution are explicitly trusted and will no longer prompt the user to trust the developer that signed and provisioned the app. If your enterprise app does not use an MDM solution, users who install your app for the first time will be prompted to trust the developer. All users who install your app for the first time will need an internet connection.

Using a new restriction, organizations can limit the apps installed on their devices to the in-house apps that they create. And a new interface in Settings allows users to see all enterprise apps installed from their organization.

How to get enum value by string or int

No, you don't want a generic method. This is much easier:

MyEnum myEnum = (MyEnum)myInt;

MyEnum myEnum = (MyEnum)Enum.Parse(typeof(MyEnum), myString);

I think it will also be faster.

How to get first object out from List<Object> using Linq

You can do

Component depCountry = lstComp
                       .Select(x => x.ComponentValue("Dep"))
                       .FirstOrDefault();

Alternatively if you are wanting this for the entire dictionary of values, you can even tie it back to the key

var newDictionary = dic.Select(x => new 
            {
               Key = x.Key,
               Value = x.Value.Select( y => 
                      {
                          depCountry = y.ComponentValue("Dep")
                      }).FirstOrDefault()
             }
             .Where(x => x.Value != null)
             .ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value());

This will give you a new dictionary. You can access the values

var myTest = newDictionary[key1].depCountry     

How to add a Browse To File dialog to a VB.NET application

You should use the OpenFileDialog class like this

Dim fd As OpenFileDialog = New OpenFileDialog() 
Dim strFileName As String

fd.Title = "Open File Dialog"
fd.InitialDirectory = "C:\"
fd.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*|All files (*.*)|*.*"
fd.FilterIndex = 2
fd.RestoreDirectory = True

If fd.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
   strFileName = fd.FileName
End If

Then you can use the File class.

How to get status code from webclient?

If you are using .Net 4.0 (or less):

class BetterWebClient : WebClient
{
        private WebRequest _Request = null;

        protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
        {
            this._Request = base.GetWebRequest(address);

            if (this._Request is HttpWebRequest)
            {
                ((HttpWebRequest)this._Request).AllowAutoRedirect = false;
            }

            return this._Request;
        } 

        public HttpStatusCode StatusCode()
        {
            HttpStatusCode result;

            if (this._Request == null)
            {
                throw (new InvalidOperationException("Unable to retrieve the status 
                       code, maybe you haven't made a request yet."));
            }

            HttpWebResponse response = base.GetWebResponse(this._Request) 
                                       as HttpWebResponse;

            if (response != null)
            {
                result = response.StatusCode;
            }
            else
            {
                throw (new InvalidOperationException("Unable to retrieve the status 
                       code, maybe you haven't made a request yet."));
            }

            return result;
        }
    }

If you are using .Net 4.5.X or newer, switch to HttpClient:

var response = await client.GetAsync("http://www.contoso.com/");
var statusCode = response.StatusCode;

Twitter API - Display all tweets with a certain hashtag?

The answer here worked better for me as it isolates the search on the hashtag, not just returning results that contain the search string. In the answer above you would still need to parse the JSON response to see if the entities.hashtags array is not empty.

How to implement a lock in JavaScript

JavaScript is, with a very few exceptions (XMLHttpRequest onreadystatechange handlers in some versions of Firefox) event-loop concurrent. So you needn't worry about locking in this case.

JavaScript has a concurrency model based on an "event loop". This model is quite different than the model in other languages like C or Java.

...

A JavaScript runtime contains a message queue, which is a list of messages to be processed. To each message is associated a function. When the stack is empty, a message is taken out of the queue and processed. The processing consists of calling the associated function (and thus creating an initial stack frame) The message processing ends when the stack becomes empty again.

...

Each message is processed completely before any other message is processed. This offers some nice properties when reasoning about your program, including the fact that whenever a function runs, it cannot be pre-empted and will run entirely before any other code runs (and can modify data the function manipulates). This differs from C, for instance, where if a function runs in a thread, it can be stopped at any point to run some other code in another thread.

A downside of this model is that if a message takes too long to complete, the web application is unable to process user interactions like click or scroll. The browser mitigates this with the "a script is taking too long to run" dialog. A good practice to follow is to make message processing short and if possible cut down one message into several messages.

How to Query an NTP Server using C#?

Since the old accepted answer got deleted (It was a link to a Google code search results that no longer exist), I figured I could answer this question for future reference :

public static DateTime GetNetworkTime()
{
    //default Windows time server
    const string ntpServer = "time.windows.com";

    // NTP message size - 16 bytes of the digest (RFC 2030)
    var ntpData = new byte[48];

    //Setting the Leap Indicator, Version Number and Mode values
    ntpData[0] = 0x1B; //LI = 0 (no warning), VN = 3 (IPv4 only), Mode = 3 (Client Mode)

    var addresses = Dns.GetHostEntry(ntpServer).AddressList;

    //The UDP port number assigned to NTP is 123
    var ipEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(addresses[0], 123);
    //NTP uses UDP

    using(var socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp))
    {
        socket.Connect(ipEndPoint);

        //Stops code hang if NTP is blocked
        socket.ReceiveTimeout = 3000;     

        socket.Send(ntpData);
        socket.Receive(ntpData);
        socket.Close();
    }

    //Offset to get to the "Transmit Timestamp" field (time at which the reply 
    //departed the server for the client, in 64-bit timestamp format."
    const byte serverReplyTime = 40;

    //Get the seconds part
    ulong intPart = BitConverter.ToUInt32(ntpData, serverReplyTime);

    //Get the seconds fraction
    ulong fractPart = BitConverter.ToUInt32(ntpData, serverReplyTime + 4);

    //Convert From big-endian to little-endian
    intPart = SwapEndianness(intPart);
    fractPart = SwapEndianness(fractPart);

    var milliseconds = (intPart * 1000) + ((fractPart * 1000) / 0x100000000L);

    //**UTC** time
    var networkDateTime = (new DateTime(1900, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc)).AddMilliseconds((long)milliseconds);

    return networkDateTime.ToLocalTime();
}

// stackoverflow.com/a/3294698/162671
static uint SwapEndianness(ulong x)
{
    return (uint) (((x & 0x000000ff) << 24) +
                   ((x & 0x0000ff00) << 8) +
                   ((x & 0x00ff0000) >> 8) +
                   ((x & 0xff000000) >> 24));
}

How to ensure that there is a delay before a service is started in systemd?

You can create a .timer systemd unit file to control the execution of your .service unit file.

So for example, to wait for 1 minute after boot-up before starting your foo.service, create a foo.timer file in the same directory with the contents:

[Timer]
OnBootSec=1min

It is important that the service is disabled (so it doesn't start at boot), and the timer enabled, for all this to work (thanks to user tride for this):

systemctl disable foo.service
systemctl enable foo.timer

You can find quite a few more options and all information needed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers

What are the retransmission rules for TCP?

There's no fixed time for retransmission. Simple implementations estimate the RTT (round-trip-time) and if no ACK to send data has been received in 2x that time then they re-send.

They then double the wait-time and re-send once more if again there is no reply. Rinse. Repeat.

More sophisticated systems make better estimates of how long it should take for the ACK as well as guesses about exactly which data has been lost.

The bottom-line is that there is no hard-and-fast rule about exactly when to retransmit. It's up to the implementation. All retransmissions are triggered solely by the sender based on lack of response from the receiver.

TCP never drops data so no, there is no way to indicate a server should forget about some segment.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

You need to encode Unicode explicitly before writing to a file, otherwise Python does it for you with the default ASCII codec.

Pick an encoding and stick with it:

f.write(printinfo.encode('utf8') + '\n')

or use io.open() to create a file object that'll encode for you as you write to the file:

import io

f = io.open(filename, 'w', encoding='utf8')

\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\ib_logfile0
\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\ib_logfile1
\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.17\ibdata1

This solved my problem.

How can I alter a primary key constraint using SQL syntax?

Performance wise there is no point to keep non clustered indexes during this as they will get re-updated on drop and create. If it is a big data set you should consider renaming the table (if possible , any security settings on it?), re-creating an empty table with the correct keys migrate all data there. You have to make sure you have enough space for this.

Finding current executable's path without /proc/self/exe

Depending on the version of QNX Neutrino, there are different ways to find the full path and name of the executable file that was used to start the running process. I denote the process identifier as <PID>. Try the following:

  1. If the file /proc/self/exefile exists, then its contents are the requested information.
  2. If the file /proc/<PID>/exefile exists, then its contents are the requested information.
  3. If the file /proc/self/as exists, then:
    1. open() the file.
    2. Allocate a buffer of, at least, sizeof(procfs_debuginfo) + _POSIX_PATH_MAX.
    3. Give that buffer as input to devctl(fd, DCMD_PROC_MAPDEBUG_BASE,....
    4. Cast the buffer to a procfs_debuginfo*.
    5. The requested information is at the path field of the procfs_debuginfo structure. Warning: For some reason, sometimes, QNX omits the first slash / of the file path. Prepend that / when needed.
    6. Clean up (close the file, free the buffer, etc.).
  4. Try the procedure in 3. with the file /proc/<PID>/as.
  5. Try dladdr(dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "main"), &dlinfo) where dlinfo is a Dl_info structure whose dli_fname might contain the requested information.

I hope this helps.

shell script. how to extract string using regular expressions

Using bash regular expressions:

re="http://([^/]+)/"
if [[ $name =~ $re ]]; then echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}; fi

Edit - OP asked for explanation of syntax. Regular expression syntax is a large topic which I can't explain in full here, but I will attempt to explain enough to understand the example.

re="http://([^/]+)/"

This is the regular expression stored in a bash variable, re - i.e. what you want your input string to match, and hopefully extract a substring. Breaking it down:

  • http:// is just a string - the input string must contain this substring for the regular expression to match
  • [] Normally square brackets are used say "match any character within the brackets". So c[ao]t would match both "cat" and "cot". The ^ character within the [] modifies this to say "match any character except those within the square brackets. So in this case [^/] will match any character apart from "/".
  • The square bracket expression will only match one character. Adding a + to the end of it says "match 1 or more of the preceding sub-expression". So [^/]+ matches 1 or more of the set of all characters, excluding "/".
  • Putting () parentheses around a subexpression says that you want to save whatever matched that subexpression for later processing. If the language you are using supports this, it will provide some mechanism to retrieve these submatches. For bash, it is the BASH_REMATCH array.
  • Finally we do an exact match on "/" to make sure we match all the way to end of the fully qualified domain name and the following "/"

Next, we have to test the input string against the regular expression to see if it matches. We can use a bash conditional to do that:

if [[ $name =~ $re ]]; then
    echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
fi

In bash, the [[ ]] specify an extended conditional test, and may contain the =~ bash regular expression operator. In this case we test whether the input string $name matches the regular expression $re. If it does match, then due to the construction of the regular expression, we are guaranteed that we will have a submatch (from the parentheses ()), and we can access it using the BASH_REMATCH array:

  • Element 0 of this array ${BASH_REMATCH[0]} will be the entire string matched by the regular expression, i.e. "http://www.google.com/".
  • Subsequent elements of this array will be subsequent results of submatches. Note you can have multiple submatch () within a regular expression - The BASH_REMATCH elements will correspond to these in order. So in this case ${BASH_REMATCH[1]} will contain "www.google.com", which I think is the string you want.

Note that the contents of the BASH_REMATCH array only apply to the last time the regular expression =~ operator was used. So if you go on to do more regular expression matches, you must save the contents you need from this array each time.

This may seem like a lengthy description, but I have really glossed over several of the intricacies of regular expressions. They can be quite powerful, and I believe with decent performance, but the regular expression syntax is complex. Also regular expression implementations vary, so different languages will support different features and may have subtle differences in syntax. In particular escaping of characters within a regular expression can be a thorny issue, especially when those characters would have an otherwise different meaning in the given language.


Note that instead of setting the $re variable on a separate line and referring to this variable in the condition, you can put the regular expression directly into the condition. However in bash 3.2, the rules were changed regarding whether quotes around such literal regular expressions are required or not. Putting the regular expression in a separate variable is a straightforward way around this, so that the condition works as expected in all bash versions that support the =~ match operator.

Correct way to set Bearer token with CURL

If you are working with a private token instead (like Gitlab API), you should replace:

$authorization = "Authorization: Bearer 080042cad6356ad5dc0a720c18b53b8e53d4c274"

with:

$authorization = "PRIVATE-TOKEN 080042cad6356ad5dc0a720c18b53b8e53d4c274";

When should I use File.separator and when File.pathSeparator?

java.io.File class contains four static separator variables. For better understanding, Let's understand with the help of some code

  1. separator: Platform dependent default name-separator character as String. For windows, it’s ‘\’ and for unix it’s ‘/’
  2. separatorChar: Same as separator but it’s char
  3. pathSeparator: Platform dependent variable for path-separator. For example PATH or CLASSPATH variable list of paths separated by ‘:’ in Unix systems and ‘;’ in Windows system
  4. pathSeparatorChar: Same as pathSeparator but it’s char

Note that all of these are final variables and system dependent.

Here is the java program to print these separator variables. FileSeparator.java

import java.io.File;

public class FileSeparator {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("File.separator = "+File.separator);
        System.out.println("File.separatorChar = "+File.separatorChar);
        System.out.println("File.pathSeparator = "+File.pathSeparator);
        System.out.println("File.pathSeparatorChar = "+File.pathSeparatorChar);
    }

}

Output of above program on Unix system:

File.separator = /
File.separatorChar = /
File.pathSeparator = :
File.pathSeparatorChar = :

Output of the program on Windows system:

File.separator = \
File.separatorChar = \
File.pathSeparator = ;
File.pathSeparatorChar = ;

To make our program platform independent, we should always use these separators to create file path or read any system variables like PATH, CLASSPATH.

Here is the code snippet showing how to use separators correctly.

//no platform independence, good for Unix systems
File fileUnsafe = new File("tmp/abc.txt");
//platform independent and safe to use across Unix and Windows
File fileSafe = new File("tmp"+File.separator+"abc.txt");

MySQL: Check if the user exists and drop it

I wrote this procedure inspired by Cherian's answer. The difference is that in my version the user name is an argument of the procedure ( and not hard coded ) . I'm also doing a much necessary FLUSH PRIVILEGES after dropping the user.

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS DropUserIfExists;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE DropUserIfExists(MyUserName VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
  DECLARE foo BIGINT DEFAULT 0 ;
  SELECT COUNT(*)
  INTO foo
    FROM mysql.user
      WHERE User = MyUserName ;
   IF foo > 0 THEN
         SET @A = (SELECT Result FROM (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT("DROP USER"," ",MyUserName,"@'%'") AS Result) AS Q LIMIT 1);
         PREPARE STMT FROM @A;
         EXECUTE STMT;
         FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   END IF;
END ;$$
DELIMITER ;

I also posted this code on the CodeReview website ( https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/15716/mysql-drop-user-if-exists )

How to pass all arguments passed to my bash script to a function of mine?

Here's a simple script:

#!/bin/bash

args=("$@")

echo Number of arguments: $#
echo 1st argument: ${args[0]}
echo 2nd argument: ${args[1]}

$# is the number of arguments received by the script. I find easier to access them using an array: the args=("$@") line puts all the arguments in the args array. To access them use ${args[index]}.

Jenkins CI: How to trigger builds on SVN commit

You can use a post-commit hook.

Put the post-commit hook script in the hooks folder, create a wget_folder in your C:\ drive, and put the wget.exe file in this folder. Add the following code in the file called post-commit.bat

SET REPOS=%1   
SET REV=%2

FOR /f "tokens=*" %%a IN (  
'svnlook uuid %REPOS%'  
) DO (  
SET UUID=%%a  
)  

FOR /f "tokens=*" %%b IN (  
'svnlook changed --revision %REV% %REPOS%'  
) DO (  
SET POST=%%b   
)

echo %REPOS% ----- 1>&2

echo %REV% -- 1>&2

echo %UUID% --1>&2

echo %POST% --1>&2

C:\wget_folder\wget ^   
    --header="Content-Type:text/plain" ^   
    --post-data="%POST%" ^   
    --output-document="-" ^   
    --timeout=2 ^     
    http://localhost:9090/job/Test/build/%UUID%/notifyCommit?rev=%REV%    

where Test = name of the job

echo is used to see the value and you can also add exit 2 at the end to know about the issue and whether the post-commit hook script is running or not.

limit text length in php and provide 'Read more' link

Limit words in text:

{
    if ($content && $limit) {
        $content = ($stripTags ? strip_tags($content) : $content);
        $content = explode(' ', $content, $limit+1);
        array_pop($content);
        if ($ellipsis) {
            array_push($content, '...');
        }
        $content = implode(' ', $content);
    }
    return $content;
}

Limit chars in text:

function limitTextChars($content = false, $limit = false, $stripTags = false, $ellipsis = false) 
{
    if ($content && $limit) {
        $content  = ($stripTags ? strip_tags($content) : $content);

        $content  = mb_strimwidth($content, 0, $limit, $ellipsis);
    }
    return $content;

echo limitTextWords($text, 5, true, true);
echo limitTextChars($text, 5, true, true);

How to have jQuery restrict file types on upload?

For the front-end it is pretty convenient to put 'accept' attribute if you are using a file field.

Example:

<input id="file" type="file" name="file" size="30" 
       accept="image/jpg,image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif" 
/>

A couple of important notes:

bs4.FeatureNotFound: Couldn't find a tree builder with the features you requested: lxml. Do you need to install a parser library?

I have a suspicion that this is related to the parser that BS will use to read the HTML. They document is here, but if you're like me (on OSX) you might be stuck with something that requires a bit of work:

You'll notice that in the BS4 documentation page above, they point out that by default BS4 will use the Python built-in HTML parser. Assuming you are in OSX, the Apple-bundled version of Python is 2.7.2 which is not lenient for character formatting. I hit this same problem, so I upgraded my version of Python to work around it. Doing this in a virtualenv will minimize disruption to other projects.

If doing that sounds like a pain, you can switch over to the LXML parser:

pip install lxml

And then try:

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "lxml")

Depending on your scenario, that might be good enough. I found this annoying enough to warrant upgrading my version of Python. Using virtualenv, you can migrate your packages fairly easily.

Reset all changes after last commit in git

First, reset any changes

This will undo any changes you've made to tracked files and restore deleted files:

git reset HEAD --hard

Second, remove new files

This will delete any new files that were added since the last commit:

git clean -fd

Files that are not tracked due to .gitignore are preserved; they will not be removed

Warning: using -x instead of -fd would delete ignored files. You probably don't want to do this.

What are major differences between C# and Java?

Another good resource is http://www.javacamp.org/javavscsharp/ This site enumerates many examples that ilustrate almost all the differences between these two programming languages.

About the Attributes, Java has Annotations, that work almost the same way.

How to detect lowercase letters in Python?

There are many methods to this, here are some of them:

  1. Using the predefined str method islower():

    >>> c = 'a'
    >>> c.islower()
    True
    
  2. Using the ord() function to check whether the ASCII code of the letter is in the range of the ASCII codes of the lowercase characters:

    >>> c = 'a'
    >>> ord(c) in range(97, 123)
    True
    
  3. Checking if the letter is equal to it's lowercase form:

    >>> c = 'a'
    >>> c.lower() == c
    True
    
  4. Checking if the letter is in the list ascii_lowercase of the string module:

    >>> from string import ascii_lowercase
    >>> c = 'a'
    >>> c in ascii_lowercase
    True
    

But that may not be all, you can find your own ways if you don't like these ones: D.

Finally, let's start detecting:

d = str(input('enter a string : '))
lowers = [c for c in d if c.islower()]

# here i used islower() because it's the shortest and most-reliable
# one (being a predefined function), using this list comprehension
# is (probably) the most efficient way of doing this

What are passive event listeners?

Passive event listeners are an emerging web standard, new feature shipped in Chrome 51 that provide a major potential boost to scroll performance. Chrome Release Notes.

It enables developers to opt-in to better scroll performance by eliminating the need for scrolling to block on touch and wheel event listeners.

Problem: All modern browsers have a threaded scrolling feature to permit scrolling to run smoothly even when expensive JavaScript is running, but this optimization is partially defeated by the need to wait for the results of any touchstart and touchmove handlers, which may prevent the scroll entirely by calling preventDefault() on the event.

Solution: {passive: true}

By marking a touch or wheel listener as passive, the developer is promising the handler won't call preventDefault to disable scrolling. This frees the browser up to respond to scrolling immediately without waiting for JavaScript, thus ensuring a reliably smooth scrolling experience for the user.

document.addEventListener("touchstart", function(e) {
    console.log(e.defaultPrevented);  // will be false
    e.preventDefault();   // does nothing since the listener is passive
    console.log(e.defaultPrevented);  // still false
}, Modernizr.passiveeventlisteners ? {passive: true} : false);

python multithreading wait till all threads finished

I prefer using list comprehension based on an input list:

inputs = [scriptA + argumentsA, scriptA + argumentsB, ...]
threads = [Thread(target=call_script, args=(i)) for i in inputs]
[t.start() for t in threads]
[t.join() for t in threads]

JS how to cache a variable

You could possibly create a cookie if thats allowed in your requirment. If you choose to take the cookie route then the solution could be as follows. Also the benefit with cookie is after the user closes the Browser and Re-opens, if the cookie has not been deleted the value will be persisted.

Cookie *Create and Store a Cookie:*

function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays)
{
var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie=c_name + "=" + c_value;
}

The function which will return the specified cookie:

function getCookie(c_name)
{
var i,x,y,ARRcookies=document.cookie.split(";");
for (i=0;i<ARRcookies.length;i++)
{
  x=ARRcookies[i].substr(0,ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
  y=ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=")+1);
  x=x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
  if (x==c_name)
    {
    return unescape(y);
    }
  }
}

Display a welcome message if the cookie is set

function checkCookie()
{
var username=getCookie("username");
  if (username!=null && username!="")
  {
  alert("Welcome again " + username);
  }
else 
  {
  username=prompt("Please enter your name:","");
  if (username!=null && username!="")
    {
    setCookie("username",username,365);
    }
  }
}

The above solution is saving the value through cookies. Its a pretty standard way without storing the value on the server side.

Jquery

Set a value to the session storage.

Javascript:

$.sessionStorage( 'foo', {data:'bar'} );

Retrieve the value:

$.sessionStorage( 'foo', {data:'bar'} );

$.sessionStorage( 'foo' );Results:
{data:'bar'}

Local Storage Now lets take a look at Local storage. Lets say for example you have an array of variables that you are wanting to persist. You could do as follows:

var names=[];
names[0]=prompt("New name?");
localStorage['names']=JSON.stringify(names);

//...
var storedNames=JSON.parse(localStorage['names']);

Server Side Example using ASP.NET

Adding to Sesion

Session["FirstName"] = FirstNameTextBox.Text;
Session["LastName"] = LastNameTextBox.Text;

// When retrieving an object from session state, cast it to // the appropriate type.

ArrayList stockPicks = (ArrayList)Session["StockPicks"];

// Write the modified stock picks list back to session state.
Session["StockPicks"] = stockPicks;

I hope that answered your question.

How can I disable inherited css styles?

The cleanest solution is probably to specify your divs as exact children.

Try changing this:

div.rounded div div {
    background: url('bl.gif') no-repeat bottom left;
}

To this:

div.rounded > div > div {
    background: url('bl.gif') no-repeat bottom left;
}

It could also be that the button needs to have CausesValidation="false". That worked for me.

A 'for' loop to iterate over an enum in Java

.values()

You can call the values() method on your enum.

for (Direction dir : Direction.values()) {
  // do what you want
}

This values() method is implicitly declared by the compiler. So it is not listed on Enum doc.

Can I stop 100% Width Text Boxes from extending beyond their containers?

What you could do is to remove the default "extras" on the input:

input.wide {display:block; width:100%;padding:0;border-width:0}

This will keep the input inside its container. Now if you do want the borders, wrap the input in a div, with the borders set on the div (that way you can remove the display:block from the input too). Something like:

<div style="border:1px solid gray;">
 <input type="text" class="wide" />
</div>

Edit: Another option is to, instead of removing the style from the input, compensate for it in the wrapped div:

input.wide {width:100%;}

<div style="padding-right:4px;padding-left:1px;margin-right:2px">
  <input type="text" class="wide" />
</div>

This will give you somewhat different results in different browsers, but they will not overlap the container. The values in the div depend on how large the border is on the input and how much space you want between the input and the border.

Check if a input box is empty

To auto check a checkbox if input field is not empty.

How to determine a user's IP address in node

I realize this has been answered to death, but here's a modern ES6 version I wrote that follows airbnb-base eslint standards.

const getIpAddressFromRequest = (request) => {
  let ipAddr = request.connection.remoteAddress;

  if (request.headers && request.headers['x-forwarded-for']) {
    [ipAddr] = request.headers['x-forwarded-for'].split(',');
  }

  return ipAddr;
};

The X-Forwarded-For header may contain a comma-separated list of proxy IPs. The order is client,proxy1,proxy2,...,proxyN. In the real world, people implement proxies that may supply whatever they want in this header. If you are behind a load balancer or something, you can at least trust the first IP in the list is at least whatever proxy some request came through.

Reverse Contents in Array

I would try to using pointers to solve this problem:

#include <iostream>

void displayArray(int table[], int size);

void rev(int table[], int size);


int main(int argc, char** argv) {

    int a[10] = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 };

    rev(a, 10);
    displayArray(a, 10);

    return 0;
}

void displayArray(int table[], int size) {
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        std::cout << table[i] << " ";
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;
}

void rev(int table[], int size) {

    int *start = table;
    int *end = table + (size - 1);

    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {

        if (start < end) {
            int temp = *end;
            *end = *start;
            *start = temp;
        }

        start++;
        end--;
    }
}

Install an apk file from command prompt?

I use this script on my windows machine ( insall all apks in current folder to all available devices )

Write-Host "Listing APKs..."

$List_Apks = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList

Get-ChildItem -Path .\ -Filter *.apk -File -Name| ForEach-Object {
    $apk_filename = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName($_)
    $List_Apks+=$apk_filename
    $apk_filename
}

Write-Host "Found apks "$List_Apks.Length

$raw_list = adb devices
$array_lines = $raw_list.Split("\n")

Write-Host "Listing devices "

$List_Device_Ids = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList

1..($array_lines.Length-2) | foreach {
  $device_id = $array_lines[$_].Split([char]0x9)[0]
  $List_Device_Ids+=$device_id
  $device_id
}

Write-Host "Found devices "$List_Device_Ids.Length

0..($List_Device_Ids.Length-1) | foreach {
    $device_id = $List_Device_Ids[$_]

    0..($List_Apks.Length-1) | foreach {

        Write-Host "Installing " $apk_file_name "->" $device_id

        adb -s $device_id install -r $apk_file_name
    }
}


Write-Host "Endo"

Save this as install-apks.ps1

Then from the powershell :

powershell -executionpolicy bypass -File .\install-apks.ps1

Swift Set to Array

I created a simple extension that gives you an unsorted Array as a property of Set in Swift 4.0.

extension Set {
    var array: [Element] {
        return Array(self)
    }
}

If you want a sorted array, you can either add an additional computed property, or modify the existing one to suit your needs.

To use this, just call

let array = set.array

how to force maven to update local repo

try using -U (aka --update-snapshots) when you run maven

And make sure the dependency definition is correct

Best way to list files in Java, sorted by Date Modified?

I think your solution is the only sensible way. The only way to get the list of files is to use File.listFiles() and the documentation states that this makes no guarantees about the order of the files returned. Therefore you need to write a Comparator that uses File.lastModified() and pass this, along with the array of files, to Arrays.sort().

Chrome disable SSL checking for sites?

Mac Users please execute the below command from terminal to disable the certificate warning.

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --ignore-certificate-errors --ignore-urlfetcher-cert-requests &> /dev/null

Note that this will also have Google Chrome mark all HTTPS sites as insecure in the URL bar.

Does reading an entire file leave the file handle open?

You can use pathlib.

For Python 3.5 and above:

from pathlib import Path
contents = Path(file_path).read_text()

For older versions of Python use pathlib2:

$ pip install pathlib2

Then:

from pathlib2 import Path
contents = Path(file_path).read_text()

This is the actual read_text implementation:

def read_text(self, encoding=None, errors=None):
    """
    Open the file in text mode, read it, and close the file.
    """
    with self.open(mode='r', encoding=encoding, errors=errors) as f:
        return f.read()

Summarizing count and conditional aggregate functions on the same factor

Assuming that your original dataset is similar to the one you created (i.e. with NA as character. You could specify na.strings while reading the data using read.table. But, I guess NAs would be detected automatically.

The price column is factor which needs to be converted to numeric class. When you use as.numeric, all the non-numeric elements (i.e. "NA", FALSE) gets coerced to NA) with a warning.

library(dplyr)
df %>%
     mutate(price=as.numeric(as.character(price))) %>%  
     group_by(company, year, product) %>%
     summarise(total.count=n(), 
               count=sum(is.na(price)), 
               avg.price=mean(price,na.rm=TRUE),
               max.price=max(price, na.rm=TRUE))

data

I am using the same dataset (except the ... row) that was showed.

df = tbl_df(data.frame(company=c("Acme", "Meca", "Emca", "Acme", "Meca","Emca"),

What is the difference between dict.items() and dict.iteritems() in Python2?

It's part of an evolution.

Originally, Python items() built a real list of tuples and returned that. That could potentially take a lot of extra memory.

Then, generators were introduced to the language in general, and that method was reimplemented as an iterator-generator method named iteritems(). The original remains for backwards compatibility.

One of Python 3’s changes is that items() now return views, and a list is never fully built. The iteritems() method is also gone, since items() in Python 3 works like viewitems() in Python 2.7.

    dirPath.forEach((element, index) => {
        if(!fs.existsSync(dirPath.slice(0, index + 1).join('/'))){
            fs.mkdirSync(dirPath.slice(0, index + 1).join('/'));

How to check if a Ruby object is a Boolean

So try this out (x == true) ^ (x == false) note you need the parenthesis but this is more beautiful and compact.

It even passes the suggested like "cuak" but not a "cuak"... class X; def !; self end end ; x = X.new; (x == true) ^ (x == false)

Note: See that this is so basic that you can use it in other languages too, that doesn't provide a "thing is boolean".

Note 2: Also you can use this to say thing is one of??: "red", "green", "blue" if you add more XORS... or say this thing is one of??: 4, 5, 8, 35.

Quick unix command to display specific lines in the middle of a file?

No there isn't, files are not line-addressable.

There is no constant-time way to find the start of line n in a text file. You must stream through the file and count newlines.

Use the simplest/fastest tool you have to do the job. To me, using head makes much more sense than grep, since the latter is way more complicated. I'm not saying "grep is slow", it really isn't, but I would be surprised if it's faster than head for this case. That'd be a bug in head, basically.

What is the purpose of willSet and didSet in Swift?

The willSet and didSet observers for the properties whenever the property is assigned a new value. This is true even if the new value is the same as the current value.

And note that willSet needs a parameter name to work around, on the other hand, didSet does not.

The didSet observer is called after the value of property is updated. It compares against the old value. If the total number of steps has increased, a message is printed to indicate how many new steps have been taken. The didSet observer does not provide a custom parameter name for the old value, and the default name of oldValue is used instead.

How to use sudo inside a docker container?

Unlike accepted answer, I use usermod instead.

Assume already logged-in as root in docker, and "fruit" is the new non-root username I want to add, simply run this commands:

apt update && apt install sudo
adduser fruit
usermod -aG sudo fruit

Remember to save image after update. Use docker ps to get current running docker's <CONTAINER ID> and <IMAGE>, then run docker commit -m "added sudo user" <CONTAINER ID> <IMAGE> to save docker image.

Then test with:

su fruit
sudo whoami

Or test by direct login(ensure save image first) as that non-root user when launch docker:

docker run -it --user fruit <IMAGE>
sudo whoami

You can use sudo -k to reset password prompt timestamp:

sudo whoami # No password prompt
sudo -k # Invalidates the user's cached credentials
sudo whoami # This will prompt for password

What's the difference between the atomic and nonatomic attributes?

The syntax and semantics are already well-defined by other excellent answers to this question. Because execution and performance are not detailed well, I will add my answer.

What is the functional difference between these 3?

I'd always considered atomic as a default quite curious. At the abstraction level we work at, using atomic properties for a class as a vehicle to achieve 100% thread-safety is a corner case. For truly correct multithreaded programs, intervention by the programmer is almost certainly a requirement. Meanwhile, performance characteristics and execution have not yet been detailed in depth. Having written some heavily multithreaded programs over the years, I had been declaring my properties as nonatomic the entire time because atomic was not sensible for any purpose. During discussion of the details of atomic and nonatomic properties this question, I did some profiling encountered some curious results.

Execution

Ok. The first thing I would like to clear up is that the locking implementation is implementation-defined and abstracted. Louis uses @synchronized(self) in his example -- I have seen this as a common source of confusion. The implementation does not actually use @synchronized(self); it uses object level spin locks. Louis's illustration is good for a high-level illustration using constructs we are all familiar with, but it's important to know it does not use @synchronized(self).

Another difference is that atomic properties will retain/release cycle your objects within the getter.

Performance

Here's the interesting part: Performance using atomic property accesses in uncontested (e.g. single-threaded) cases can be really very fast in some cases. In less than ideal cases, use of atomic accesses can cost more than 20 times the overhead of nonatomic. While the Contested case using 7 threads was 44 times slower for the three-byte struct (2.2 GHz Core i7 Quad Core, x86_64). The three-byte struct is an example of a very slow property.

Interesting side note: User-defined accessors of the three-byte struct were 52 times faster than the synthesized atomic accessors; or 84% the speed of synthesized nonatomic accessors.

Objects in contested cases can also exceed 50 times.

Due to the number of optimizations and variations in implementations, it's quite difficult to measure real-world impacts in these contexts. You might often hear something like "Trust it, unless you profile and find it is a problem". Due to the abstraction level, it's actually quite difficult to measure actual impact. Gleaning actual costs from profiles can be very time consuming, and due to abstractions, quite inaccurate. As well, ARC vs MRC can make a big difference.

So let's step back, not focussing on the implementation of property accesses, we'll include the usual suspects like objc_msgSend, and examine some real-world high-level results for many calls to a NSString getter in uncontested cases (values in seconds):

  • MRC | nonatomic | manually implemented getters: 2
  • MRC | nonatomic | synthesized getter: 7
  • MRC | atomic | synthesized getter: 47
  • ARC | nonatomic | synthesized getter: 38 (note: ARC's adding ref count cycling here)
  • ARC | atomic | synthesized getter: 47

As you have probably guessed, reference count activity/cycling is a significant contributor with atomics and under ARC. You would also see greater differences in contested cases.

Although I pay close attention to performance, I still say Semantics First!. Meanwhile, performance is a low priority for many projects. However, knowing execution details and costs of technologies you use certainly doesn't hurt. You should use the right technology for your needs, purposes, and abilities. Hopefully this will save you a few hours of comparisons, and help you make a better informed decision when designing your programs.

Comparing two input values in a form validation with AngularJS

How do I expire a PHP session after 30 minutes?

This was an eye-opener for me, what Christopher Kramer wrote in 2014 on https://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#115842

On debian (based) systems, changing session.gc_maxlifetime at runtime has no real effect. Debian disables PHP's own garbage collector by setting session.gc_probability=0. Instead it has a cronjob running every 30 minutes (see /etc/cron.d/php5) that cleans up old sessions. This cronjob basically looks into your php.ini and uses the value of session.gc_maxlifetime there to decide which sessions to clean (see /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime). [...]

How can I get the baseurl of site?

This works for me.

Request.Url.OriginalString.Replace(Request.Url.PathAndQuery, "") + Request.ApplicationPath;
  • Request.Url.OriginalString: return the complete path same as browser showing.
  • Request.Url.PathAndQuery: return the (complete path) - (domain name + PORT).
  • Request.ApplicationPath: return "/" on hosted server and "application name" on local IIS deploy.

So if you want to access your domain name do consider to include the application name in case of:

  1. IIS deployment
  2. If your application deployed on the sub-domain.

Is there any difference between DECIMAL and NUMERIC in SQL Server?

They are the same. Numeric is functionally equivalent to decimal.

phpinfo() is not working on my CentOS server

For people who have no experience in building websites (like me) I tried a lot, only to find out that I hadn't used the .php extension, but the .html extension.

Android Studio: Drawable Folder: How to put Images for Multiple dpi?

Simply go to project Explorer and change your View from Android to project from drop Down and you are good to go.There you can simply create folder like we do in Eclipse. And in android project view it is hidden but when you switch to project. You can create folder like drawable-hdpi,drawable-xhdpi.

How to declare a global variable in php?

$GLOBALS[] is the right solution, but since we're talking about alternatives, a function can also do this job easily:

function capital() {
    return my_var() . ' is the capital of Italy';
}

function my_var() {
    return 'Rome';
}

Loop through files in a directory using PowerShell

Give this a try:

Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\gerhardl\Documents\My Received Files" -Filter *.log | 
Foreach-Object {
    $content = Get-Content $_.FullName

    #filter and save content to the original file
    $content | Where-Object {$_ -match 'step[49]'} | Set-Content $_.FullName

    #filter and save content to a new file 
    $content | Where-Object {$_ -match 'step[49]'} | Set-Content ($_.BaseName + '_out.log')
}

Evenly distributing n points on a sphere

with small numbers of points you could run a simulation:

from random import random,randint
r = 10
n = 20
best_closest_d = 0
best_points = []
points = [(r,0,0) for i in range(n)]
for simulation in range(10000):
    x = random()*r
    y = random()*r
    z = r-(x**2+y**2)**0.5
    if randint(0,1):
        x = -x
    if randint(0,1):
        y = -y
    if randint(0,1):
        z = -z
    closest_dist = (2*r)**2
    closest_index = None
    for i in range(n):
        for j in range(n):
            if i==j:
                continue
            p1,p2 = points[i],points[j]
            x1,y1,z1 = p1
            x2,y2,z2 = p2
            d = (x1-x2)**2+(y1-y2)**2+(z1-z2)**2
            if d < closest_dist:
                closest_dist = d
                closest_index = i
    if simulation % 100 == 0:
        print simulation,closest_dist
    if closest_dist > best_closest_d:
        best_closest_d = closest_dist
        best_points = points[:]
    points[closest_index]=(x,y,z)

How to return a table from a Stored Procedure?

Where is your problem??

For the stored procedure, just create:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ReadEmployees @EmpID INT
AS
   SELECT *  -- I would *strongly* recommend specifying the columns EXPLICITLY
   FROM dbo.Emp
   WHERE ID = @EmpID

That's all there is.

From your ASP.NET application, just create a SqlConnection and a SqlCommand (don't forget to set the CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure)

DataTable tblEmployees = new DataTable();

using(SqlConnection _con = new SqlConnection("your-connection-string-here"))
using(SqlCommand _cmd = new SqlCommand("ReadEmployees", _con))
{
    _cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

    _cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@EmpID", SqlDbType.Int));
    _cmd.Parameters["@EmpID"].Value = 42;

    SqlDataAdapter _dap = new SqlDataAdapter(_cmd);

    _dap.Fill(tblEmployees);
}

YourGridView.DataSource = tblEmployees;
YourGridView.DataBind();

and then fill e.g. a DataTable with that data and bind it to e.g. a GridView.

Angular.js: set element height on page load

$(document).ready(function() {
       scope.$apply(function() {
                applyHeight();
            });
});

This also ensures that all the scripts have been loaded before the execution of the statements. If you dont need that you can use

$(window).load(function() {
       scope.$apply(function() {
                applyHeight();
            });
});

rotating axis labels in R

Use par(las=1).

See ?par:

las
numeric in {0,1,2,3}; the style of axis labels.
0: always parallel to the axis [default],
1: always horizontal,
2: always perpendicular to the axis,
3: always vertical.

Is there a macro to conditionally copy rows to another worksheet?

The way I would do this manually is:

  • Use Data - AutoFilter
  • Apply a custom filter based on a date range
  • Copy the filtered data to the relevant month sheet
  • Repeat for every month

Listed below is code to do this process via VBA.

It has the advantage of handling monthly sections of data rather than individual rows. Which can result in quicker processing for larger sets of data.

    Sub SeperateData()

    Dim vMonthText As Variant
    Dim ExcelLastCell As Range
    Dim intMonth As Integer

   vMonthText = Array("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", _
 "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December")

        ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sharepoint").Select
        Range("A1").Select

    RowCount = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sharepoint").UsedRange.Rows.Count
'Forces excel to determine the last cell, Usually only done on save
    Set ExcelLastCell = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sharepoint"). _
     Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)
'Determines the last cell with data in it


        Selection.EntireColumn.Insert
        Range("A1").FormulaR1C1 = "Month No."
        Range("A2").FormulaR1C1 = "=MONTH(RC[1])"
        Range("A2").Select
        Selection.Copy
        Range("A3:A" & ExcelLastCell.Row).Select
        ActiveSheet.Paste
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        Calculate
    'Insert a helper column to determine the month number for the date

        For intMonth = 1 To 12
            Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Select
            Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="" & intMonth
            Selection.Copy
            ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("" & vMonthText(intMonth - 1)).Select
            Range("A1").Select
            ActiveSheet.Paste
            Columns("A:A").Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
            Cells.Select
            Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
            Range("A1").Select
            ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sharepoint").Select
            Range("A1").Select
            Application.CutCopyMode = False
        Next intMonth
    'Filter the data to a particular month
    'Convert the month number to text
    'Copy the filtered data to the month sheet
    'Delete the helper column
    'Repeat for each month

        Selection.AutoFilter
        Columns("A:A").Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
 'Get rid of the auto-filter and delete the helper column

    End Sub

How to send only one UDP packet with netcat?

On a current netcat (v0.7.1) you have a -c switch:

-c, --close                close connection on EOF from stdin

Hence,

echo "hi" | nc -cu localhost 8000

should do the trick.

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: SIGSEGV, libjvm

Here is assembly code:

7f0b024734be:       48 8d 14 f5 00 00 00    lea    rdx,[rsi*8]
7f0b024734c5:       00
7f0b024734c6:       48 03 13                add    rdx,QWORD PTR [rbx]
7f0b024734c9:       48 8d 7a 10             lea    rdi,[rdx+16]
7f0b024734cd:       8b 5f 08                mov    ebx,DWORD PTR [rdi+8]
7f0b024734d0:       89 d8                   mov    eax,ebx
7f0b024734d2:       c1 f8 03                sar    eax,0x3
7f0b024734d5:       85 db                   test   ebx,ebx
7f0b024734d7:       0f 8e cb 05 00 00       jle    0x7f0b02473aa8

And what it does is:

rdx = 0x00007f0a808d4ed2 * 8; // equals 0x0003F854046A7690. WTF???
rdx = rdx + something from old gen heap; // results 0x000600007f090486
rdi = rdx + 16; // results 0x000600007f090496
ebx = something from edi address (0x000600007f090496) + 8

Well I've had a look at the address map and there is nothing mapped to 0x000600007f090496 which is why you are getting a SEGV. Are you getting the same error with 1.6.0_26 JVM? Can you try it on a 32bit JVM? Looks like a JVM issue to me. Why would it do the first rdx=0x0... * 8 thing?
